Remove Photo Metadata (EXIF & GPS)
Your photos never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser — no upload, no sign-up, no file storage. Works offline.
Remove GPS location and camera metadata from your photos
Every photo your phone takes carries hidden metadata — a block of EXIF data recording where you were (GPS coordinates), what device you used, and the exact date and time. When you share that photo, that information usually travels with it. This tool strips it out, entirely inside your browser, before you ever send the file — so you can post or send a picture without leaking where it was taken.
How to remove metadata from a photo
- Drop your photos onto the box above (JPEG or PNG), or click to choose them — you can add several at once.
- Each file is cleaned automatically, with its own progress and a note of what was removed.
- Click Download on a file, or Download all, to save the cleaned copies.
What gets removed
- GPS location — the coordinates of where the photo was taken.
- Camera and device info — make, model, lens, and settings.
- Timestamps — the original capture date and time.
For JPEGs the metadata block is removed without touching the image itself, so there is no quality loss — the pixels are identical, only the hidden data is gone. For PNGs the image is re-encoded, which rebuilds it cleanly without embedded text chunks. After processing, the tool tells you exactly how many fields it removed and whether GPS location was among them.
Why a metadata remover has to run locally
A tool that uploads your photo to a server to "clean" it has already done the exact thing you were trying to prevent: it handed your location and your original file to someone else. Doing it in your own browser is the only version of this tool that actually keeps its promise. You can confirm nothing is sent in your network inspector, and it works with your connection switched off.
What it doesn't do
This removes hidden metadata; it does not alter or blur the visible image. If a photo itself shows a street sign, a house number, or a reflection that identifies a location, that is in the picture and stripping EXIF won't change it — crop or edit the image for that.

- No. The photo is re-encoded locally in your browser and the cleaned copy is handed straight back to you. Your photos never leave your device.
- What exactly is removed?
- All EXIF metadata, including GPS location, camera model, and the date/time the photo was taken. The visible image is unchanged.
